THOMSON, Ill., Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Thousands of jobs would be created in Illinois if the U.S. government purchases a nearly empty prison there to house terror detainees, a study indicates.
The study, performed by the Obama White House Council of Economic Advisers and obtained by The Chicago Sun-Times, asserted that 2,290 to 2,960 jobs would be created in and around Thomson, Ill., in the first year after its conversion to house some of the prisoners now held at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention facility, the newspaper reported Sunday.
Local residents in the Illinois-Iowa border town would be "good candidates" to fill 1,240 to 1,410 of those jobs, the report indicated.

Obama and Holder are either that stupid or they want them to receive a mistrial. Those jobs in IL will be government jobs which will suck more money from the taxpayers. The jobs will not be productive to the economy nor will transporting those Evil men back and forth to NYC. The security it will require will suck more blood from the already almost Bankrupt Federal Gov.
Actually, they are only talking about 100 of the 200 prisoners coming to the prison.
SHH! Don't give them any ideas, Hussein would probably think this was pure genius.
Wow, I never thought of that. I would hate to be responsible for giving him anymore ridiculous ideas.
